Here is a very good article on setup, configuration and (not to be overlooked) security.

This combined with the manuals from your Wireless hardware should get you hooked up in no time. For hardware information and details, check out CNET's reviews:

I went with a Linksys WAP-11 and Orinoco cards...and have been very satisfied.
